Sumo Squat
Make sure you get your butt back.
Place most of the weight in your heel and outer part of the foot.
Keep chest up.

  • Do people ever do sumo squats on a smith machine?

  • You could do it. However, you would need to place your feet forward so the bar would not bend your chest forward.

  • I thought a sumo squat was wider based than the stance this guy had.

  • Doing squats properly shouldn't put any real stress on your back. And even in an exercise that is supposed to work your back, ie deadlifts, your only really at risk if your form is bad or your ego gets in the way.

  • good stuff meroki

  • This is how I'm getting Chun li thighs. So far so good.... slow but steady improvement! Sumo squats FTW!!

  • @soumya86 yeah sharp pain in the left inner thigh is usually a sign of an underlying issue :-(

  • @lhp70 while I agree that smith machines kill kittens, if you're trying to isolate a particular muscle group, they have their benefits. I use the smith machine to supplement free weight military press and incline press to isolate those particular muscles. apparently a lot of pro bodybuilders do this but personally, I stick to as much free weight as possible.

  • @someguy9008 Smith machines suck big time.

  • He got some sexy legs....

  • thats more of an athletic squat, sumo squats are when you spread the floor with your feet.

  • jesus, i just finished doing 120 lunges and now seeing you do this makes my legs hurt even more XD
